Only around 3-4% of the US workforce is actually paid minimum wage. Where is REALLY matters is in all those union contracts which are negotiated with wages being a given multiplier of the minimum wage. So a bump in minimum wage equates to a huge pay off to labor unions for the most part.

I'm about to assemble the most powerful (and subsequently most expensive) computer I have ever assembled for home use. And I won't be installing a single game on it. (AI workstation/server system)

You've just described an absolute nightmare scenario I think about. I started having some hand tremors a while back. There's no history of PD in my family, but a history of something called "familial tremors". But in the back of my head I keep worrying about exactly what you're getting hit...

Yes, because only losers own/run hardware in the glorious age of..... THE CLOUD!

This was literally the scenario where I worked. They were posting up leaderboards of who was using AI for the most. So people started using it for everything... email... product descriptions... competitive intel.... things we literally already had internal sites and resources for half the...

How about we just mash T'ealc up with Amos, and add in Jayne's hat from Firefly?

Interesting tidbit on the SpaceX thing today. It will trade on two exchanges. NASDAQ, and.... NASDAQ-Texas Maybe I just haven't run into it before, but today is literally the day I realized there is such a thing as a NASDAQ exchange that was Texas based.

As has been mentioned, things aren't always linear. Not even day/week/month is a win, sometimes not even every year. If you know what helps you get through the crap until you can start to make progress again there's no shame in doing what you know should help. The fact that you still seem to...

Was reading the replies and hit this thought nugget.... Although Campbell has mostly retired from acting and almost completely from the con circuit as he's dealing with some medical issues IIRC.
